The compression property resets to NULL, instead of the old value if we fail to set the new compression parameter.
btrfs prop get /btrfs compression compression=lzo btrfs prop set /btrfs compression zli ERROR: failed to set compression for /btrfs: Invalid argument btrfs prop get /btrfs compression This is because the compression property ->validate() is successful for 'zli' as the strncmp() used the len passed from the userland. Fix it by using the expected string length in strncmp().
